It is evident the shift that Atlético de Madrid has made in its roadmap when facing transfer markets. Not long ago, it was common for the red-and-white team to let some players leave before bringing in new reinforcements. That situation has changed, and the main objective at the Metropolitano is to continue improving to get closer to the best teams in the world.
Therefore, in addition to the signings being planned by the colchonero team, they will also prevent the departure of key players for Simeone. The desire of the sports management is to reach different agreements with these footballers to extend their contracts with the club. One of them, moreover, has been linked in recent weeks with different destinations, but his desire is to stay.
Important Renewal at Atlético de Madrid
One of the main criticisms that many fans have made in recent years is the sale of important footballers that significantly lowered the competitiveness of the squad. All that has been left behind, and in the coming months, different agreements with players in the squad will be announced to renew their contracts. One of them is Pablo Barrios, although those negotiations have not yet started to reach an agreement, but they are expected to begin as soon as possible.

The intention is for the red-and-white youth player to sign until the year 2030 and triple his salary, reaching three million euros, thus warding off any offer. In recent weeks, different reports have emerged pointing to major clubs in Europe interested in making an offer for the midfielder. Chelsea, Tottenham, and Bayern Munich are some of those alleged interested parties, although there is no intention to let him go.
Giuliano Simeone, the Other Target
The Argentine winger is also on the sports management list to start negotiating a renewal, although he has a contract until 2028. His great season has undoubtedly made him one of the revelations of LaLiga, earning a starting spot at Atlético de Madrid and being indisputable in the line-up. Therefore, it is not surprising that the colchonero team wants to secure him, although the footballer has always expressed his intention to stay.
It is no surprise that the Simeone family is linked to the red-and-white team, something all its members have demonstrated in recent decades. At the Metropolitano, they are already looking to the long term, and those young players will be very important for the squad to maintain its best level. A different case will be those more veteran players who are performing well and whose future will also need to be decided in the coming months.
